[Bldg-sim] running 32-bit program on 64-bit computer

[Varkie C Thomas]

Shaun,
I could not do this because the DOE2.1E program does not have a desktop icon.  See message attached.  Thanks for the information because it worked on a 32-bit program with a desktop icon that I transfered from another computer.
